Many of the hot topics in eating disorder recovery—health at every size, food neutrality, whether some foods are manufactured with addictive qualities—extend beyond eating disorders and to the messages we hold and teach our children about food and bodies.
In this episode I am joined by Katie Gilder and we talk about how we address these issues with young kids. We discuss whether there’s “healthy” vs. “unhealthy” foods in our homes, if we communicate distinctions between food types (such as meal time vs dessert) to our kids, how we respond to the children’s comments about different body types.
